Thomas Eakins: Scenes from Modern Life
A quintessential American painter of the 19th and 20th centuries, Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) was fascinated by a rapidly changing world and captured it in his paintings and photographs. His exquisite studies of the human body at rest and motion reflect a perfect blend of scientific approach and poetic touch. This DVD follows his steps as a young art student in Paris, as a teacher in Philadelphia and his controversial insistence in using nude models, to his later life in North Dakota. College through adult (56 min / 2002 / DVD)
